yes the da100 does look good. the plus sides tot he storm was that it was NOS and was battery powered, and apparently looked to include usb > i2s rather than usb > spdif.
the more i tihnk about the conversations everyone has had with him, and how every quesiton has been responded with "yes it will come with that" the more it seems like a scam. im hoping against hope hells send me a dac, but the more i reflect on his manner...
he probably set out with good intentions with the D02, and perhaps personal problems forced him to use all our money which is probably at least 15k USD, for some personal end.
anyway, we will either get it or we wont, there not much point in raving about getting revenge etc.
